TX, OK, CO and NM Medicare-New Medicare Administrative Contractor Jurisdiction 4

Date:   11/21/2007

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced the selection of Trailblazer to administer the Jurisdiction 4 A/B Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) claims processes for both Part A and Part B fee-for-service Medicare in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Oklahoma.

Provider Action:

Infinedi LLC will be releasing detailed implementation plans and information as it becomes approved and available. Do not change your payer name or address in your practice management system until conversion to the new contractor is complete.

To prepare for the transition, we encourage providers to register for the J4 MAC Implementation News listserv as well as the state-specific listserv for their service area from the J4 MAC Web site at http://www.trailblazerhealth.com/j4. By registering for these listservs, providers will receive the latest information on J4 MAC implementation activities and all new process updates or changes. Jurisdiction-wide information will be shared in the J4 MAC Implementation News listserv as often as is needed, with state-specific information included in the state-specific listservs.
